Chuck Carroll reporting. ... Roman Reigns sat in with the Sports Junkies and Chad Dukes at 106.7 The Fan. He said that WWE is "a little bit old school now." He added, "When people talk about the past time of wrestling and how the guys used to be and there’s all these little stories here and there. I like to think that we shine in that regard. We’re a different breed, the new guys coming up." He also talked about characters becoming stale and how it's imperative talents be able to evolve. When asked specifically about The Miz, he said there was still a chance for him to excel in WWE. "He had a nice run and he was doing the things he did. He headlined a WrestleMania. He also, he has different ties and crossover connections with what he did before he started wrestling… With any character or any performer there’s always a chance to change yourself, to evolve, to be different, to show something new. I think that anybody who is feeling like they’re stale, if they need to revamp… if they can do that, then there’s respect in that." The full interview, including video of the segment, is available on the station's website.
Chuck also said that he interviewed Jimmy Uso for 106.7 The Fan in Washington, D.C. He sent this report. ... There are a couple of interesting nuggets to take away. He said he and Trinity really were busted "having relations" on the luxury bus during the filming of Total Divas. That wasn't scripted as part of the show. "I honestly, I couldn’t hold out any longer," Uso said. "They caught us flat out." He also noted that filming for the show's third season began two weeks ago. Regarding wrestling, he talked to be about his desire to have success as a singles competitor. He said he would "definitely would love to try it," but only if Jey was able to succeed as well. There's a lot more to the interview, including how The Usos found success over the past year and feeling Umaga's presence with him every time they're in the ring. He also touched on morale in the company following the recent releases. The full interview can be heard here.
